All the whining in this thread is fucking hilarious. You mean guys actually have to fucking tackle the correct way again? OMG, What will they do?! There's no way players can tackle like they were taught to!
This should have been banned a while ago when it started to get regular use.
For all your bitching, one thing is correct: it takes a tiny bit more effort to take a more proper angle of pursuit and tackle someone with correct form. Some guys might whiff and give up some TDs because of it. Oh fucking well. [Reply]

I can tell you don't play football and probably never have. JJ Watt and many other defensive players would laugh at this post.
Hip drop tackle isn't tackling right because the owners and a bunch of soft fans say it isn't? Ha! Yeah ok.... [Reply]

The people who know me know what level of football I played at chump. The person in this room who hasn't played might just be the one I'm responding to. Your football knowledge is about zero. [Reply]

You're entitled to your opinion.
End of the day the rule is changed and there is nothing I can do about it. It is what it is. I'm just voicing my opinion on here. You don't like it? Oh well.
Injuries are a part of the game. It's unfortunate but it's reality. No one is putting a gun to these guys heads and forcing them to play. Constantly changing the rules to make the game less physical will eventually turn the game into the XFL or arena football league where offenses dominate and defenses are simply an afterthought.
Don't worry the NFL will turn into flag football soon enough. I'm sure you'll be very happy about that. [Reply]

When you're done showing how much you know about football, read my post above. [Reply]

Aww, one of the primary Lounge morons has come out to play. I've forgotten more about the game than you could acquire in two lifetimes. Run along little bitch. [Reply]
The Rugby League in Australia banned it a while ago. It made no difference to the game, players got use to the new rules very quickly. NFL players will get use to it as well and it will make little difference. The reaction to a rule intended to protect the players is OTT. [Reply]
